According to Zouréhatou Tcha-Kondo Kassa-Traoré, the Togolese Minister of Public Works, the selected companies will execute the project in several lots. This includes infrastructure, high-current electricity, delivery station, and solar energy, computer cabling and network infrastructure, and plumbing.
Upon completion, the IFAD-Renewable Energies will offer to the people of Togo training on modules such as the manufacture, installation, and maintenance of solar panels. The acquisition of this expertise will be an added value for the West African country, which aims to increase the share of renewable energies in its electricity mix to 50%.
The future Togolese technicians specializing in renewable energies
Once on the job market, the achievements of the future Togolese technicians specializing in renewable energies will be monitored through an online platform dedicated to the management of green off-grids.
This will be done by the Togolese Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Agency (AT2ER), which is a public establishment responsible for implementing the country’s rural electrification policy, promoting and promoting renewable energies.
I am glad that another country is joining the use of renewable energy. This brings many benefits to our planet and, therefore, to ourselves. Towards a more sustainable and decarbonized future. !! Congratulations!! Gustavo Copelmayer, Development Director.
